There was a day down that African roadFirst family of man with the unwritten codeTheir eyes saw the world and in confusion went blindRaised temples, raised cane, became prisoners of timeFull moon flood tides rising, they sailed through the eastern shoresFar away from that place down that African roadAnd only a storyteller seemed to believeWho would recall such a day down that African roadAfrican roadRobert in pain came and put him awayA legend would sing the old east daySuddenly stayed no sound or peaceStill before stars such a strange kind of peaceBut some old child was singing like children often doSinging songs from a place down that African roadYeahYeahYeahYeahAnd all those who daredTo listen remember the same codeThey all went back somewhere in that African roadYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahYeahThey were like seaHeading on downTo rescue the dreamAnd bring it all backFrom that African worldBack to the coldAnd into our dreamsFor when is that lifeThrough love with no fearsWe'll do it allDown at the African worldWe'll make itIt's not all a gameIt will returnYou'll suffer twilightAnd maybe you'll learnA song with meFrom that African worldSingingSingingSingingSingingSingingA song with meFrom that African worldBack to the coldAnd bring it all backFrom that African worldBack to the coldAnd bring it all backFrom that African worldBack to the cold
